Passport Panties: A Clever Way To Stash Your Skivvies When You Travel

Airport security has pretty much made being discreet while you travel a thing of the past--have you ever stood there in your socks while a TSA dude rifles through your bag, inducing some serious blushing while he pulls out your Tampax? It ain't pretty. But I've just found my way around at least one JFK-to-LAX embarrassment, in the form of a smart little way to bring an extra pair of undies in your carry on while still maintaining an air of dignity.

Say hello to Passport Panties, a cute pair of underwear hidden behind a faux crocodile passport cover. They're chic, comfortable, and hilariously sized: Jump Seat (extra small), Window (small), Middle (medium), and Aisle (large). They've just introduced a set that has a matching camisole, as well, which means if your luggage gets lost, you'll at least have jammies and a fresh set of skivvies.

You can snag your own set at Neiman Marcus or online at www.passportpanties.com. What are some of your packing secrets for avoiding a hassle at the airport?
